Axterracor dinnerware is made 100% in Rockledge, FL USA

As a matter of fact, our entire operation, from our CEO’s office to our factory, is located under roof…so we know exactly what goes on with our manufacturing and what materials are used to create your dinnerware.

All of Axterracor ceramic pieces are lead-free. We do not put lead in any of our clay or glazes. Our ceramic pieces pass CA Prop 65 as well as FDA standards.

Most colors, including white, are cadmium-free.

The glaze colors orange and red cannot be made without cadmium. But the safety of our dinnerware is of utmost importance to us. Therefore, Axterracor only uses what is called “encapsulated cadmium”. The cadmium is encapsulated in non-toxic Zircon crystals rendering the cadmium impossible to leach out of the crystals.

Axterracor has even tested our red and orange glazed dinnerware after being used daily, by our CEO’s family of four, for 5 years. These tests, like the tests of freshly made dinnerware, also have results of “none detected”, whatsoever, for lead and cadmium.

Again, our ceramic pieces (even any pieces with orange or red glaze) have always passed CA Prop 65 and FDA standards. We actually surpass those standards as our test results show “none detected”, whatsoever, for lead and cadmium.

Axterracor dinnerware is known for its durability and longevity of use as well as its beauty.

Following these few simple guidelines will help keep your ware at its best:

Rubbing an unglazed “foot” against a glazed surface can cause surface scratches Stack with care You may want to insert a paper towel between items when nesting Do NOT use on a stove top burner Avoid impact. Handle with care Silverware marks all ceramic surfaces; the more you use your dishes, the more likely it is that you shall see grey “metal marks” on its surface. Do NOT use bleach to remove metal marks, as bleach will often leave a chalky look on your dinnerware. Scrubbing only with a scouring pad can wear down a glaze surface, thus making it more difficult to clean and easier to receive metal marks in the future

THE ANSWER to remove metal marks: We recommend a safe, reusable product called ChinaMate®. When kept filtered, the cleaner will last indefinitely, saving you money and time. Soaking dinnerware in ChinaMate® and rubbing with a Scotch-Brite™ pad effectively removes metal marks without compromising the look or surface quality of your dinnerware.

We accept WIRE and ACH transfers.
